Be careful when crossing the street or riding a bicycle.
EN： In consumer tech reviews, reviewers frequently use 'smooth' to describe animations and transition fluidness (often linked to higher display refresh rates like 120Hz), distinguishing it from 'fast', which usually refers to sheer processing speed and instant app launching.
